Research and planning : shooting schedule

Research and planning : Poster font styles ideas

Theses are the font ideas styles i have tried out that would look good on my poster for my trailer but however i think they do not look very scary and do not go with the theme genre of the trailer.

Research and planning : Ishowu of task carried out in class.

Research and planning : Research on genre poster and magazine.

 


   These horror images have cretin things in common that helps us to determiner their genre and this can be related to the poster i will be making for my horror trailer because both images are close up this can be useful as it tell the facial expression of he actor and get to tells significant story about their role and what the film could possibly be about, the first image the girl looks frightened and uneasy while the woman in the second image looks devious and evil.











This magazine are possibly the type of magazine that would market horror films both images on the magazines are close up and shows the real effects of the actors on the cover the colour layout and image gives us an idea that it is of a horror genre. the first one could be action supernatural horror because the guy in the image has got human features but doesn't look human while the second one could be said to be supernatural horror because we cant actually see much going on but the boy looks like he been in trouble/battle and the fact that we cant see any other things around him suggest it could be invisible leading to he supernatural theme.

This is a presentation i have done on prezi  to review my magazine article cover line ideas.

Research and planning: storyboard changes.

1. Added more titles
2. Took some shots out to make it short
3. changed some cinematography angles and shots
4. changed the order

Research and planning: Meeting post

Me and my partner have had another meeting, this time about our storyboard, we have made some changes to it because we thought we were revealing every shot of the film so we thought we will take out some of the shots and make a note of them also we thought that the filming is quite long as it has gone over 3 minutes so we had to cut some shots down anyway and we had to add the titles on which will take even more time, because our trailer is only meant to be for 2 minutes. This also means that our treatment stage, shots that are in order are also going to change.

research and planning: sound ideas for trailer

These are different links to youtube relating to the different sounds that I would like to create for the trailer .

  Heart Beat


Horror Sound


Screaming


Ghost sound: the sound i lik and think of using/making starts from 3:08

Research and planning :Target audience

The target audience for my horror film trailer, film poster and film magazine is going to be teenagers above the age of 13 and below the age 20, I choose that range of target audience because there are mainly teenagers in the trailer so It wold be more appericiated and appealing to teenagers and young adults, the trailer will also include  strong language as it wont affect the teeenagers and it wont affect anybody else because they are not watching it. My target audience would or should have an interest in watching horror films and also must have a background where they are going to school, college or university and if not that then they must be working atleast part time or full time. They must like to go out with their friends and mostly enjoy hanging around with them and like going to the cinemas.

Research and planning : chosen film magazine name
